2. Table manners what to pay attention to it
Dining etiquette issues can be said to have a long history.
According to the literature, at least in the Zhou Dynasty, dietary etiquette has formed a set of quite perfect system, especially once served as a Confucian priest of Lu's praise and esteem and has become an important aspect of the performance of successive dynasties of the appearance of a great country, the state of etiquette, the civilization of the important aspects. As the Han tradition of ancient banquet etiquette, has its own set of procedures: the host folded invitations to invite, temporary welcome guests outside the door.
When the guests arrived, greetings, introduced into the living room to sit, toast to refreshments. When the guests are all seated, the guest is guided to the seat, with the left as the upper, as the chief, relative to the first seat for the second seat, the first seat under the third seat, the second seat under the fourth seat.
The guests were seated, the host toast to let the food, the guests thanked the courtesy. There is also a certain amount of care in pouring wine and serving food: the elders and the guest of honor should be honored first, and finally the host.
This traditional banquet etiquette in most parts of China remains intact, such as Shandong, Hong Kong and Taiwan, and is reflected in many movies and TV shows. During the Qing Dynasty, some western food etiquette was introduced under the influence of western food importation.
Such as sharing dishes, soup, wine and other ways to be introduced into Chinese etiquette because of the reasonable and hygienic way of eating. The exchange of Chinese and Western food culture makes dining etiquette more scientific and reasonable.
3. What are the common Chinese table manners
Generally speaking, the common table manners of Chinese food are: (1) Guests should not pick up chopsticks before the host.
(2) When eating, the hand that does not hold the cutlery to hold their own dishes; rice or soup to lift the bowl. (3) Chew with your mouth closed without making a sound; eat noodles or drink soup without making a sucking sound.
(4) Try not to pick your teeth at the dining table, and cover them with your hand or napkin when you do so. (5) The carousel in the center of the table should be rotated clockwise, and after each dish, it should be rotated to the front of the guest of honor first.
(6) When you talk to people on both sides of the table, your voice should not be too high, and you should speak after swallowing your food. (7) If the wine glass, drink cups knocked over, you should quickly wipe with a napkin, the side of the person can provide help, others continue to talk and eat to minimize the embarrassment of the parties involved.
4. Table manners what to pay attention to it
First of all, from the beginning of the meal, the host should be invited to guests should clearly explain the type of meal, if it is a dinner party, business negotiations and other special requirements for clothing, should be sent to the guests to send out invitations to explain clearly, and ask the guests to clarify whether there are some taboos in the diet.
When seated, the host should first invite the guests to be seated, in which the elders are seated on the seat, the younger ones in turn. Guests should not move chopsticks first after being seated, but wait until the director of the first opening toast before moving.
The etiquette of the meal is actually more complex, and I'm going to introduce you to some of the highlights. First of all, the dishes should be close to each other, i.e., try to pinch only the dishes that are placed in front of you or near you, and don't pinch too much at a time.
When eating and drinking soup, you should pay attention not to make too much noise, especially pay attention to the meal do not make hiccups and other sounds, if you want to sneeze, you should measure over the body and cover your mouth and nose with a napkin, so as not to affect other people's meals. In addition, in the soup should also pay attention to, when the soup should be used to spoon soup from the inside out, with a spoon to drink in small bites, do not bring the soup bowl to the mouth to drink soup.
In addition to the above points, the host should try to use chopsticks when serving food, or bring dishes far away from the guests to them, and ask the guests or elders to move their chopsticks first when each new dish is served. Finally, when leaving the banquet, the guests should thank the host for the banquet out of courtesy, and the host should respond with some polite words such as "poor hospitality".
When sending off guests, the host should remind the guests to take their belongings with them, and should not immediately turn around and withdraw when they part, but should see off the guests for a longer distance. In terms of etiquette, there is a big difference between China and the West. What I've described above is only part of the Chinese table manners, and due to the span of the region, the table manners of different regions will also be slightly different.
However, whether you are a guest or a host, we should always keep in mind the principle of "learning manners first," the education of etiquette throughout all aspects of life, through the study of etiquette, to cultivate good habits, and then cultivate a good moral character.
5. The basic etiquette of table manners

2, pouring wine on the right side of the dishes by the guests, the first guest of honor, after the host, the first female guests, after the male guests. Wine poured eight points, not too full.
The order of serving food remains traditional, first cold and then hot. Hot dishes should be from the left side of the seat opposite the guest of honor; on a single dish or side dishes and snacks on the first guest after the host, on the whole chicken, duck, fish and other plastic dishes, can not be head and tail toward the main seat.
3, regardless of the occasion, are honored to sit on the seat, the humble sit down on the first; elders sit on the seat, the young sit down on the first; teachers sit on the seat, students sit down on the first. When sitting at the square table, the eldest sitting on the short side of the square table against the house, others according to the seniority of the seniority of the young arranged to sit.
When you sit at a round table, you should pay special attention to the inner most seats to honor your elders, as a sign of respect. If you go to a restaurant, the seat in the room should be given to the senior.
4, can not put the length of the chopsticks on the table, lick chopsticks, sip chopsticks, or "Soler" chopsticks are quite rude, do not use chopsticks to hit the chopsticks. 5, can not put the teapot mouth to people.
This is the same reason why you can't point your finger at people, it's disrespectful to whoever is pointing it at. At the same time, it also indicates that the host is not welcome to the person being pointed at.
